When the Board OF Public Works was
created the intention wss to give it full
control Of street Improvements, suhjec. to
the appropristius po1er of.Couucil. This
plan hiss amply vindicatod the wisdom
which devised it. Wheeling has never
before secn 50 much done in the way Of
street improvements and meyer 30. 30
much Tor its money.
To deprive the Board Of Public Works
OF any part OF its saiutary power cannot
be otherwise than grave mistake. Coun-
Gil is supposed to aelect good men for the
Board, and at the end OF every two years
it has the power to revise and correct its
judgment. Il was not intended that the
members OF this Board ahould be mere
stree. commissioners under the super
vision OF Council as to the specific i'm
provements to be made.
Certainly it was not intsnded that after
certain specified work had been done the
remainder OF the appropriation was to be
divided equally among the wards, as is
now proposed, without any regard TO the
genera! welfare aud the general System OF
improvement. which the Board may be
prosecuting. Nor can NC believe that the
departure OF las. year, with the patchwork
Livisioa OF spols which it ia proposed to
add to it ior this year, is .wiso from any
point OF view.
What this ward or that may "pst" is OF
much less importance than that the city
shall have frat those street improvements
which it nccds most, and as rapidly as
possible have sll ita streets paved. A sys-

Joseph Smith Prcnclles II Sermon Fayorjur
Single Marriages..
CLEVELAND. o., April 10.-There was a
large attendance at the conference OF the
Latter Day Saints at Kirkland to-day, thu
attraction being sermon by President
Joseph Smith, against tho Mormon doc.
trine Of polygamy. Mr.. Smith began hia
sermon by the emphatic declaration, ~
have no belief in this philosophy Of
polygamy. I am identified with people
many Of whom have gone over with the
extremists, aud cast their lot with the sd.
vocates OF pluralmarriages. l desire to state
publicly that l am not OF their number.
l make no personal onslaught on those
who accept the polygamous clause in the
Mormon religion nor shall l. We ought
to take it for granted that God knew what
he was about when he created the world,
When the earth wss ready for man, God
placed Adam and Eve in the grsden Of
Eden. II he had intended two wives for
Adam he would have given them to him.
When Adam and Eve were Joined to.
gether they were immortal aud marriage
was celestial. Now there came a time
when it was necessary to begin popula.
ting the earth over again. Men and wo.
men had einned, aud God wished to crush
wickedness out Of the world. II he had
made mistake at creation in giving Adam
but one wife, here was a grand opportunity
to reverse the order Of things, and siye
Noah two wives. Did God do so? No.
He commanded Noah to take one wife,
and his servants one vile. Do no. you,
my brethren, believe tha. God is wise
enough to have improved that oppor.nni-
ty to fectiiy any error in Judgment, in
narceling ont to man but one hepmeet?
But God had another opportunity to
correct the mistake if one had been made,
when he led Lsvi and his vile OH. Of the
land OF Jude. II God had desired 10 re-
Verse his judgment by giving Noah but A
single wife, he could have put himself
right. But he did not do it. I take the
three great events az proof poui,ive, uuan.
swearable and overwhelming that God in.
tends man to have but ono wife"
Tho speaker went on to say that Latter
Day Saints sto0d committed to the doc.
trine Of aingle marriages. Further proof
Of the error OF polygamy, he said, was
found in the twenty-thiri and twenty.
fourth verses Of the second chapter oi
Genesis.
